How to mine with GPU

11-01-2018

In my previous posts I have shown you how to mine with CPU:
How do I mine with CentOS?
How do I mine with OS X?
Solve Ubuntu MinerGate problem
Now I will show how to mine with your video card. If until now I used to mine with MinerGate for Linux, looks like their windows software has a big problem on the GPU mining side..so I searched and found this Claymore CryptoNote GPU Miner.
After I tried to make a version of Claymore v10 or v11 to work, I let myself down and downloaded an older version, namely v9.6 BETA. If you succeed with newer versions ... it means that you are good, good for you!
By the way the versions can be found here: https://mega.nz/#F!e4JVEAIJ!l1iF4z10fMyJzY5-LnyC2A
I still will present version 9.6 BETA.
After you downloaded the files, put them where you want on the disk. Don't start yet! You will need a configuration file! This configuration file can be found on your MinerGate account? Don't have an MinerGate... Read more

UPcoin.com new exchange platform

07-01-2018

At the end of January a new exchange platform will be launched, the name is upcoin.com
What does this new platform promise?
ANTIDDOS Protection
Although we are in 2018 ANTI DDOS protection is not a thing to brag, the equipments have evolved a lot, and this protection has become a basic thing...so I'm not impressed by this feature, even though the they can resist at 1000 Gbit/sec
GLOBAL PRESENCE
They say that they have servers located in 4 global regions to ensure fast server response. Ok, this is a good thing, but it is necessary for a promising platform like this. I personally worked with much smaller platforms and already had this infrastructure, again, it does not amaze me
EXCHANGE TESTED BY HACKERS
They mention that they have independent auditors and they are constantly test the system. In my opinion, this is nice and increases confidence.
WE PROTECT OUR EMPLOYEES
Uhm...ok.

Ark Mobile Wallet Release

27-12-2017

One of my favorite coins is Ark? Why? Because it is an "all-in-one blockchain solution", and besides this main feature we can also list: Fast, Decentralized, Scalable, Collaborative, Bridging and Open Source. Perhaps the last three are not so important, but for me the most important was FAST and SCALABLE, and these two features are the most important for today's development and usage.
The Ark team is moving fast with the launch of Mobile Wallets, the release includes wallets for Android and iOS operating systems. This main task had 4 subtasks:
Initial Research & Developement
Write new API wrapper
UI/UX wireframe mockups
Prototype testing/coding/final release
At the moment all the work is done and made public!
You can get the Android version from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.ark.wallet.mobile
The iOS version from here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ionic-view-test-ionic-apps/id1271789931?mt=8

Ethereum Dark - new Ethereum

09-10-2017

Ethereum Dark the new Ethereum solution for altcoins...what does this mean?
Ethereum Dark is a simple PoW (Proof of Work) and PoS (Proof of Stake), but as they say, this is mainly a Proof of Stake. They thought it was not the case to launch an ICO for that, to quote them "everybody gets a fair chance from the start". Their goal is to make profits, secure and anonymous transactions, nothing new here, because they do that just like any other currency. In the near future, the team is about to retain some of the supply to ensure the blockchain works smoothly, until the time comes to decide what to do with the remaining supply.
They also gave some informations about their scripting:
PoS Percentage: 10% Annually/0.83% Monthly
Last PoW block: 10,000
Block Reward: 3 coins
Total Supply: 4.2 million coins
Additional Info: To stake you must leave the coins in your wallets and leave them on (24/7 for best results)
Initial Supply and R... Read more
